Interpretation Resources for the Use of Scripture in the Church : The Ten Commandements

---

Outline: Westminster John Knox Press is proud to introduce an existing new phase in the renowned Interpretation commentary series. Instead of focusing on individual books of the Bible, these additions will focus on the Bible's most enduring passages and most vital themes, bringing to these topics the insighand faithful wisdom that are longtime hallmarks of the Interpretation commentary series. This expanded Interpretation series is an excellent resource for all those who teach, preach, and the study of the Bible. Patrick Miller approaches the Ten Commandments as ancient document and as contemporary guide. With careful attention to each commandment in its original context, he shows the reader the modern relevance of these basic principles as well as how the ideas of each commandment influenced the New Testament and the history of Christian thought. More than an intellectual exercise, The Ten Commandments applies the call of the Commandments to modern-day issues. For example, how does the commandment "You shall not kill" relate to manslaughter, murder, execution, and war? Might the story of Ruth be read as a commentary on how to honor one's father and mother? How is the commandment "You shall not steal" reflected in the legal texts of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers? Throughout, Miller brings the power of the Commandments alive, presenting them not just as text given once and for all but as an ethical call with ongoing implications that continue to resonate today.
